Four Winds is an amazing house with a beautiful garden set in the South Downs National Park. It is light, spacious and has open fires in the winter months and BBQ's and a fire pit in the summer months. There is a large country kitchen, overlooking the landscaped garden and a large lounge with an open fire. Transport links are extremely good and there is parking adjacent to the house.

Four Winds is an old house with character but a contemporary, stylish feel. The ambiance is fantastic and it's just a great place to be. Guests have the freedom of the house and garden in its entirety.

You’ll love Springles Barn because of the location, outdoor space, and the ambiance. A great place for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and furry friends (DOGS ARE WELCOME!).
The location suits people wanting to explore the Southdowns and we are also about 15 mins from Glyndebourne and the Amex football Stadium. Lewes Bonfire is a must for at least once in your life and Lewes itself is a pretty place to explore.
There are some lovely local country pubs offering delicious food.

A large, bright, spacious bedroom with high ceilings in keeping with Barn living. The room has bespoke en-suite facilities giving a 'boutique' feeling. A king size bed with quality linen ensures a restful nights sleep.
Your dog is welcome to stay in the room.

We are situated in a rural location with a handful of neighbours. It is very peaceful. There are a number of lovely local pubs offering really nice food but you will need to drive.
This is an ideal spot if you enjoy cycling and walking.
Glyndebourne is a 15 min drive and I can offer lifts to the Opera with prior arrangement at a nominal cost.

The room was amazing, spacious, quiet and the bathroom has a tub to enjoy after a long day of hiking. Besides there is a nice garden to take advantage of for breakfasts. Claire was very helpful in providing information on where to have dinner or best nearby places to visit.

Claire was a perfect host,absolutely delightful, so friendly, she made us feel so at home. You won't find better( and Ray too). Their home is beautiful, stunning views, very comfy bed, beautiful decor, one couldn't ask for more. We were able to choose our breakfast - lovely porridge, croissants and scrambled eggs. Very peaceful setting, perfect for Glyndebourne, the South Downs, Lewes..... Her recommendation for a pub for dinner was excellent too. Fantastic Airbnb, we would definitely recommend. Thank you Claire. P S. Tim ran the Marathon in 4h 32m!

stephanie2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

An idyllic location in the countryside, probably the most grand bedroom ever. Claire was the perfect host. Highly recommended.

Room looks out on trees in peaceful area, 2 miles from Lewes centre. Excellent access to downs and meadows. Share in my nearby allotment and pick fresh veg for dinner. The house has arty and creative feel.

My immediate neighbourhood is peaceful. There are a wide range of animals within a short distance. Horses, cats galore, foxes, swans, cormorant, herons, sheep and cows (depending on time of year), also big old trees, not to mention the river and meadows.....

I had a wonderful stay at Georgia's house. The area is quiet, and the house is clean and comfy and I was made to feel at home. I was very grateful to be able to use the kitchen and the facilities were perfect. Lewes is a lovely little town with all the facilities I needed for my business trip. Thanks again Georgia!

Georgia made me feel very welcome and is a very friendly person. the room is comfortable, plenty of room, a comfortable bed and good heating. Georgia was helpful with information about Lewes and I was happy staying with her.

Friendly, quiet. Comfy bed. You need (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps to get there as on a maze of roads in estate.

Lucy2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time at Georgia's. Her house is lovely and in a great location, just a short 5min drive from the centre of Lewes. The room is a good size, has everything you need and a comfy double bed. Georgia was lovely and a great host. She made us feel at home and is keen to share lots of interesting local information including walks, events and sights. We will definitely be returning to carry on with our exploration of the beautiful South Downs!!! RECOMMENDED TO ALL!!!!

Our Victorian home is a large semi just outside the beautiful town of Lewes. We are surrounded by the South Downs and have views in all directions. Our home is our haven and is a wonderful place to hang out, set off from and generally enjoy.

We have 5 bedrooms. The en-suite bedroom is generally for our guests but we have an extra double room that can be used if families need more rooms (on application). All the rooms are in very good order. We are mad keen on photography and many of the rooms are adorned with some beautiful original pieces from a number of celebrated artists. The house is quite eclectic but hopefully to most people's liking.

The Rainbow pub is a few minute's walk away and is one of many great local hostelries to enjoy a fabulous pint of Harvey's or a tasty supper. Many people come to Lewes to enjoy the town and the surrounding countryside. The South Downs are simply incredible for walking or cycling. An amazing stopover for a few days.

Laurie and Wendy's house is beautifully decorated and feels like a warm and welcoming second home the moment you step inside. The bedroom/bathroom are exactly as described and photographed. We had a fantastic stay with our hosts who made us feel like friends and not like paying guests. When it looked like rain Laurie handed us his beloved umbrella (which we promptly lost) and blankets for our Glyndebourne picnic. He cooked a fantastic breakfast in the morning (that we didn’t know was included in the listing!). We had great conversations and will surely come back if only they will have us! Thank you!

soenje2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

Our experience was great overall, Laurie and his wife were perfect hosts, welcoming on arrival, looking after every detail to make our stay was very comfortable including all amenities in our room/bathroom which we enjoyed very much. They were always available and happy to give advise for local places and activities. Amazing breakfast every morning which made a big difference, and much appreciated when you are away from home. We are very thankful for all the attentions they had with us and our little toddler, she also had a blast! and absolutely loved their cat. We highly recommend this place to stay.

We were made to feel very welcome. Laurie and Wendy were incredibly warm and friendly. We had an amazing breakfast and enjoyed our stay.

Katrina2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

A very nice step in Lewes in a warm house. We had the impression to be invited in friends and not be customers. Breakfast was excellent. We have not had the chance to meet her husband but Laurie was perfectly looked after us and his daughter was very friendly. We highly recommend!

18th Century cottage situated at the foot of the South Downs National Park. Access to South Downs Way across the road.Double bedroom for couples. Private lounge, Wi Fi , shared shower (website hidden). Dog friendly (one allowed). Cooksbridge Rail connection to London Victoria -3/4m.

This is a genuine 18th Century Cottage but with 21st Century amenities. I provide you with your own space to unwind or prepare for hiking, walking around the South Downs Way, with easy access by rail to London Victoria, Gatwick Airport or even Heathrow. Easy access to Brighton, Lewes or Eastbourne. Lots to do and see. Seaside and evening entertainment in Brighton and we're also ideal for Glyndebourne.

The town is the location of several significant historic buildings, including Lewes Castle, the remains of Lewes Priory, Bull House (the former home of Tom Paine), Southover Grange and public gardens, and a sixteenth-century timber-framed Wealden hall house known as Anne of Cleves House because it was given to her as part of her divorce settlement from Henry VIII, though she never lived there. Anne of Cleves House and the Castle are owned and maintained by the Sussex Archaeological Society (whose headquarters are in Lewes). The Round House, a secluded former windmill in Pipe Passage, was owned by the writer Virginia Woolf.
The steep and cobbled Keere Street is home to many historic buildings, including a timber framed antiquarian bookshop. The gardens of the buildings on the east side of the street border the old Town Walls. The Prince Regent once drove his carriage down the Street, and a sign at the bottom commemorates this event. Good town for foodies, and excellent breakfast cafes and deli's. Plenty of meetings for friends of Bill W. Wild swimming superb in the River Ouse at high water in Piddinghoe, (EMAIL HIDDEN)e and enjoy.

My place is close to public transport links to Brighton & London & is a short walk (or £5 taxi ride) into Lewes town centre. It is also approx. 30 mins by car or train from Gatwick & about 10 mins by car to Glyndebourne Opera House. There are nice walks, parks & Pells outdoor pool nearby & lots of good pubs & shops in the town. You’ll love my place because of the light, the cosy atmosphere & the garden space outside as well as the views of the downs. It is especially good for families with kids.

Our cosy sitting room with open fire is lovely in the Autumn/Winter. There is a DVD player but no terrestrial TV channels. However, with the correct HDMI leads you can connect your own laptop to the screen to watch television via IPlayer etc. (I can show you how to do this when you arrive).

There are many fantastic pubs in Lewes serving great food and ale, such as The Lewes Arms, The Swan, and the Snowdrop. There are also lots of interesting independent shops, antiques centres and flea markets to explore. There is easy access to the Downs and River Ouse for stunning walks and bike rides. The wonderful Pells outdoor swimming pool is also just a 10 minute walk from the house, which is really great for summer months.

Nice little house with a beautiful garden. We enjoyed several seats in the garden to relax in on a sunny day. The living room and kitchen are both nice spaces and tastefully decorated. We stayed with children and the cabin bedroom was perfect.

Jessica2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Everything was as advertised. Communication was excellent and check in and check out so easy. Really useful information on the local area. Everything we needed. Many thanks!

Paul2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

The location of the place is excellent you can walk to town or castle. there is public transport very near and also shop for day to day items. we walk to the castle in 20 minutes passing some of the nice view. The house feel just like home and comfortable with all you need. the landlord is very caring she had left for us Juice milk and Hot cross buns as it was Easter. Overall I would recommend this place for a family visit and if you just want to relax.

Chandra2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Tamsin was very friendly and great to communicate with making the stay very enjoyable and stress free. She was always happy to help and the house had everything needed for either a long or short stay. It was very clean upon arrival and felt like home from home with beautiful flowers to greet! It's in a good location not far from the Lewes with free street parking which is a bonus. I'd highly recommending staying in Tamsin's place!

My place is close to the Downs, the River Ouse and Lewes town centre. It's perfect for walking in the South Downs and 7 miles from a lovely beach at Seaford. It has free parking, a great garden with fantastic views and covered space for sitting outside. There is lockable bike storage and a range of toys and activities. It would be good for groups and families.

The house is a 1970s 3 bedroom terraced house, with garden and free parking. The neighbours are lovely and very welcoming of guests. It is right at the edge of town, so behind the house there are meadows and woods, and a track along the river into town or up onto the Downs. There is lockable bike storage at the back of the house.

The house is at the very edge of Lewes, backing onto a country track that leads directly down to the river or up onto the Downs. It's 5 minutes walk to a shop or 20 minutes walk into town. It's very quiet and peaceful here, and you can often hear owls and foxes.

We really enjoyed staying at Leila's house. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It's on the edge of Lewes, close to some lovely countryside and we really enjoyed eating out in the garden in the evenings. Leila left us some maps and lots of useful information about the local area. We went on a really nice walk by the river straight from the house. The walk in to town was pleasant and took about 25 minutes.

Sharon2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

I've stayed here for work purposes. We found the house quiet and comfortable, with a lovely outlook at the back. Would definitely stay again.

Good sized double room with desk, chair and armchair in friendly home, only a few minutes from lovely walks on the South Downs, and 15 minutes walk into town. (5 minutes from bus stop to Brighton and Universities). A quiet comfortable space at the back of the house.

Enjoy a quiet space at the back of the house, with a desk and armchair overlooking the garden. Watch the birds from your bed! It's a peaceful place to work, study or relax, with central heating and a separate heater if required. The room is conveniently next to the bathroom, and there is a separate shower room downstairs.

Our house is in a quiet residential neighbourhood with two corner shops close by open til 9pm. The South Downs are 5 minutes away with lovely views and walks. The Pelham Arms is five minutes away and does good food, or walk a little further into town for more cafes, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets etc.

Because I need to stay longer in Lewes I chose again Catherine accommodation as I was sure I will be happy.

Jacek2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Catherine was very welcoming and her home is lovely. Very clean and accurate to the pictures.

Rachel2016-12-19T00:00:00Z

We had a really lovely week staying with Catherine. She made both of us feel very much at home. Her two cats were super friendly! It is very close to bus stops and walking distance from the centre of town & train station. Definitely recommend staying here.

Catherine was brilliant! Very nice, warm and welcoming. The home was more than I expected, very clean and quiet. The location was close to town. Lewes was the perfect start to my holiday. Thank you Catherine!!!! Kindest regards, LaChè Milo

Catherine was a fantastic host, She even collected me from Lewes station when i arrived from Cumbria, and showed me the local area on the way to her house, The place was nice and tidy and i was made more than welcome. There was a nice breakfast provided and her 2 cats are lovely. Her house is beautiful and Catherine is a really nice down to earth person. I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting Lewes. Absolute brilliant host.

Dave2016-03-27T00:00:00Z

Catherine came out to meet me when I phoned her to say that I had mis-read the directions and walked past the end of her road. The house is lovely, with a calm and peaceful atmosphere, in a very quiet area. Catherine offered to share her evening meal with me and set out provisions for a healthy breakfast. When I left, she very kindly drove me to the station so I didn't have to walk with my heavy bags.

Jane2016-03-11T00:00:00Z

Very welcoming host, she even came and collected us from the station! Will definitely book again.

We're gauging interest for people interested in staying in our home over the Bonfire weekend in Lewes. As we have a young child we won't be able to enjoy the festivities - and we thought maybe someone else would appreciate the opportunity? Obviously we'd like to make this worth our while - and we're seeing if there's interest at an amount that would pay for us to stay elsewhere for the weekend plus give us a little extra for doing the house up.

We've only recently bought our home and we've already made it cosy. However, it's by no means decorated to a modern standard throughout, although it is clean and relatively neutral. Our bedroom could accomodate two and we also have a sofa bed with memory foam topper in the front room that could accomodate two. If anybody did have young kids our sons cot could be used. There are two wash rooms, both with toilets, one with a shower and one with a bath. There are two car parking spaces available out the front of the property.

Our neighbourhood is (usually) peaceful and friendly. We can make no such assurances on Nov 5th.

Modest, sunny and warm house situated on the outskirts of Lewes in Malling. Very quiet and peaceful with garden, perfect for de-stressing.
Open plan dining/kitchen living area. 2 double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom. Free parking on street, easy access to town.
Close to all local amenities and beautiful countryside for walks, in an area steeped in history.
Whole house or bed and breakfast . Please contact for further information.
BT Hot spot, no wifi.

One of the good points is although it's not far from the centre of the town the road is very quiet apart from bird song and owls hooting. Free on-street parking is a great boon too as parking in Lewes is a nightmare and very expensive if you can get it!
Almost from the house there is a walk along a disused railway and the river right up to the supermarket and the centre of town-or over a bridge to long riverside walks.In the other direction are walks across the downs to pretty countryside around Glyndebourne and Ringmer.

The house is part of a development built in the 70's with lots of green spaces and trees to the north of the town of Lewes.

My place is relaxed, light, colourful and artistic. It's well-located for Lewes town centre, outdoor swimming pool, shops, art and culture, train station, walks in the meadows by the River Ouse, walks to the Downs and getting out into the countryside. Brighton is 20 mins by car. Couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers are all welcome. You can usually park near the house without any restrictions. A double and single room are available in the house too on airbnb or just me.

My house is warm and friendly, light and colourful. I have a garden which I enjoy growing vegetables in and a small patio area which gets the sun a lot. You are welcome to sit out there.

I have lots of leaflets about places to visit in Lewes and in the countryside.

Carolyn made me feel very welcome and the house an room are just as described and shown in the photos. I didn't have masses of time, but we had an engaging chat over a cup of tea as soon as I arrived.

This cosy cottage forms part of a traditional village family home in a spacious garden with wonderful views. Log burning fire in open plan kitchen with comfy sofas and tv. Free wi-fi & ample parking available. Easy access to country walks and pubs, Glynebourne, Lewes, Brighton and gorgeous Sussex. Sleeps up to 4 in beds made up with White Company bedlinen.

Situated on a quiet country lane in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, Hope Cottage is quaint 2 bedroom guesthouse with a country-chic feel. Hope Cottage is set within the boundaries of my own property – known as Crink House – and you would have the entirety of Hope Cottage to yourself.
The property is a 2 bedroom house (sleeps up to 4 people). On the ground floor is the second bedroom, with two twin beds, a bathroom with WC and shower, the open-plan kitchen-living-dining room with a wood-burning fireplace and private patio. Up the stairs allows you to walk straight into the master bedroom, which has an ensuite with a bath and WC as well as the little den.
I have decorated Hope Cottage with as much care as my own home; with crispy linen sheets and huggable towels, scrumptious Aesop and L’Occitane bath products, a cosy living room and of course plenty of wine glasses! In summer, you can sit out on the candle-lit patio (with privacy thanks to the surrounding hedge) or come winter, you can curl up under a blanket on the sofa with the wood-burning fire place on the go – perfect for warming cold toes after a bracing walk.
There is plenty of room in our driveway to park a car or two and there are some fantastic country walks to be had in and around the local area. Even jumping over the back fence of the property will provide you with a beautiful walk amongst fields of wheat and corn and down to the gentle stream two fields down, or up towards the nearby reservoir. We are so lucky in that we have wonderful views across the countryside as we are up on Crink Hill. The nearby River Ouse meanders through the countryside towards us at Barcombe Mills, a popular place with locals in the summer, where you can rent rowing boats at the popular Anchor Inn pub. Towards the South are the famous South Downs and Lewes (10 mins drive), a wonderful town further down the River Ouse, which is full of great coffee shops and restaurants, wonderful antique stores and of course, the local Harvey’s brewery.
We have 2 friendly dogs – Milly the springer spaniel and Bob the cocker spaniel – who you may see pottering around from time to time.

Louise made us all feel very welcome on arrival at the cottage leaving us some treats in the kitchen - brownies and local honey - as well as stocking the fridge with essentials. The cottage was in a very quiet spot in the countryside which suited us as we wanted to get away from it all. We did take the train from Lewes (10 mins away by car) to Brighton for the day which was really easy. The cottage had everything we needed with room downstairs for the teenagers and upstairs double for my partner and I. Two bathrooms but we only used one - shower in one, and toilet in the other. The dogs were very friendly and came to check is out each time we were about. Kids loved the trampoline and it kept them quiet for a while. Great break - thanks Louise.

Louise has not provided a full breakfast for the first morning available and was always Responsive for us. The property is quiet and secluded, in the street, however, should be crink Road recites, because the Barcombe Hill Road is located about 400m. The location near Lewes is an ideal place to make many trips to the south coast and still spend a relaxing evening on the terrace.

Heiko2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

A lovely area close to Barcombe Mills. Lovely walks accessible from the property. Property reasonably equipped and ideal for two guests. Our only disappointment was there was no hairdryer but this didn't spoil our enjoyment. Eggs, jam and bread etc, enough for breakfast were very welcome as were the chocolate brownies.

Centrally located within a stone's throw of the castle ruins, ten minutes on foot from the railway station, opposite a big, leafy open space. There is a lovely garden on two levels, and easy access to the Downs on foot or by car or train.

This is a very simple space, one down, two up with steep stairs inside and steps to the garden outside (hold the hand rail!) It is a family home so everything is nice but not perfect. Cosy and comfortable in a friendly neighbourhood. Our neighbour next door will be your host for your stay.

Loved the cottage and were made very welcome. Perfect.

Rob2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

A charming cottage in a quiet corner of Lewes. We were met and welcomed by a neighbour who could not have been more helpful. It is a surprisingly short walk into the centre of Lewes. Everything we needed was provided to a good standard. Street parking is available and a permit was provided. The roadway is narrow and it is necessary to park close in to a wall.

David2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

The stay was very comfortable. The host was friendly and seemed willing to be called upon for help though this did not prove necessary. The cottage is close to the centre of Lewes and is very peaceful.

Duncan2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

Our host had to adapt to a change in arrival time because of our journey; she kept in touch and made sensible changes. The road is very peaceful for somewhere so close to the centre of a town. The house is immaculate and instantly relaxing. We had everything we needed, and they had sorted out parking. We had a phone number is there was anything we needed. We didn't need to use it. Really well-run.

Stephen2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

A comfortable home from home. Nestled between woods and fields with a web of great footpaths. Four pubs within walking distance and bikes should you fancy wheels. Parking easy, bus and train services on the doorstep, starry nights unmissable.

I will be in residence usually. There are multiple possibilities to staying here and therefore costs differ - size of party, number of rooms, length of stay.
My mission is to make everyone comfortable and at home.
Contact me if a family or group booking required.

Beautiful, quiet, comfortable, secluded place in a quiet corner of Sussex. Carol is an incredible host and very welcoming and accommodating.

Charlie2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

Carol and her family were so welcoming and generous and went out of their way to make this stay in the countryside the best one ever!! We were treated as part of the family and would love to come back! The area is so nice and peaceful and the cottage very cosy (esp. the open fire) and authentic. You just have to experience this!

Carol was super helpful and very welcoming, insisting I made myself at home. Nothing was a problem, even the fact I had to get up early to partake in a local biking event wasn't an issue. She asked me what I'd like for breakfast and was only to happy to get up super early and make me a lovely meal to well and truly set me up for my ride. Nice and quiet location out of the way. Large room, with a great comfy bed. No curtains in the room, but as I was up early it wasn't an issue for me. Great!

Jamie2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

This beautiful house is in a stunning location near the South Downs Way. The rooms are beautiful and Carol is just fab - she is lovely and the breakfast was first rate! We were on a two-day hiking trip, and it provided the perfect overnight "pit stop". Highly recommended

Robin2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Sometimes an airbnb experience reminds us that there is very much more good in the world than the media would have us believe. Staying at Stable Cottage with Carol was just such an experience. She was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, kindly offering us a delicious supper as we had arrived too late to get a meal at the pub. We enjoyed her company so much as well as getting to meet her family and friends. The cottage with its walled garden, adjoining woods and views of the Sussex Downs is a delight. The beds were very comfortable and Carol provided wonderful breakfasts each morning. We wished we could have stayed longer and will certainly be going back.

My house is in the village of Barcombe, five miles north of the historic town of Lewes with all it's interesting and varied amenities. Eastbourne is a 20 minute drive and Glyndebourne just 10 minutes away. Barcombe is really close to the South Downs giving guests the options of great walking or cycling. The house has private parking for one car and a large(ish) private garden.

I bought my house a year ago. It's a bit of a work in progress so it's NOT hotel standard but it's clean and comfortable and I'm told has a really nice feel to it! I'm a graphic designer and a bit of a collector so there's lots of interesting and unusually bits and pieces about the place. It's not exactly minimal. The pictures don't really do the place justice but I hope you get some sense of it.
Bedroom 1 is large and airy and situated at the front of the house. It has a king size (quite firm) mattress and from the window you can see the distant Downs and a lovely cherry tree.
Bedroom 2 is a cosy double which looks out over the back of the house. The view from the bed is of trees. Expect plenty of birdsong.
The Living Room goes from front to back and opens out onto a patio and the garden. There's an open fire for use during the winter and logs and kindling are provided. The TV has a basic BT package (I think I might still be paying for BT Sport!) and Netflix, iPlayer, More4 etc. If I can get my turntable working you're welcome peruse my dodgy vinyl collection.
The kitchen/dining room also goes from the front to the back. There's a comfortably sized dining table with bench seats (from a German bierkellar). There's also a little sofa so it's a great room to socialise in. The kitchen itself is not particularly to my taste or standard but it works ok.
The house has a decent WiFi service (BT). Phone signal is not brilliant. I make Wifi calls on my phone and that works a treat.
The bathroom - like the kitchen - is another work in progress. There's a bath and shower in the bath which is electric so always reliably hot. The house uses an immersion heater so there's not constant hot water elsewhere though I would set this to timer for you.
This is a working 'home' so while I'll do my best for the place to be clean and tidy for you - this is not a 'hotel'.
The village and it's amenities:
The house is a very short walk to the local pub which is a good, functioning, village resource. So many villages have lost their pub or it's been turned into something ghastly. The Royal Oak has remained a no frills local and serves reliably good pub food (their curries are particularly nice) and Harvey's Ale. On Mondays a Pizza Van turns up outside. The Anchor Inn is a 25 minute walk across country and is a very popular destination being on the river and having a large pub garden. It's worth a visit. A beautiful location. The local village shop (recently saved from development) has a Post Office within it and stocks most essentials. It doesn't takes cards but if the Post Office is open you can take cash out there. Barcombe Village Hall often has weddings on and the house is 2 minutes walk away.
I'm really enjoying living here. It's proximity to Lewes (a ten minute drive) is great and getting about and seeing the gorgeous Sussex countryside is really easy.
I hope you'd enjoy your stay.
